U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds just recorded their strongest weekly net inflows of 2026, attracting $110.49 million during the week ending Aug. 28, according to Coinpaper. That more than doubled the previous 2026 weekly high of about $60.5 million and pushed cumulative inflows to roughly $1.66 billion, with total net assets reaching about $1.44 billion.
The weekly figure was a 2026 record but still below the all-time weekly high of about $243.95 million set in late 2025. The recovery in ETF flows had been building earlier in the week, when cumulative demand moved past $1.55 billion. Spot XRP products also recently posted a $125 million single-day trading-volume record, signaling expanding institutional participation.
Despite those inflows, XRP traded near $1.38 on Aug. 29, down about 7% over seven days and giving back part of a rally that earlier drove the token more than 40% higher in August. The divergence reflects spot selling, leverage, macro conditions and broader crypto sentiment. XRP is now testing the $1.36–$1.40 area, with $1.45 acting as important resistance. A move above $1.45 could resolve the bearish divergence, while a break below $1.36 would keep the correction in control.
